Re: The banding is camera dependent.

It has to be camera dependent. Check out DPreview's review of the EM1. They test the 20mm on the EM5 and the EM1 at high ISOs. There is definite banding in the shot by the EM5, but almost no banding in the shot from the EM1. Same lens, different cameras, different results. They must have figured out something and made a fix.

My EPL5 also demonstrates banding at higher ISOs. I'm looking forward to testing it out on the EM1.

It's a known issue with the E-M5, E-PL5, E-PM2, E-P5, and GH3. However, the very latest top-level cameras, the E-M1 and GX7, are both unaffected according to DPR testing:
